Kumar @ Shivakumar vs State Of Karnataka

The Supreme Court upheld the conviction of the appellant under Section 306 IPC for abetting the suicide of the deceased. The Court found that the appellant's threats and harassment constituted sufficient grounds for establishing abetment, as the deceased consumed poison shortly after the incident. The Court affirmed the trial court's findings and the sentence of three years rigorous imprisonment and a fine of Rs. 2,000, dismissing the appeal.
